About this house rental

Situated in Berkeley, this charming house for $340 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. This spacious and light-filled classic Craftsman home in the Rockridge area of Oakland has five bedrooms and three baths in 2300 square feet, plus a garden and patio for outdoor dining. The ground floor has a large sunny living room, formal dining room (both with warm wood paneling), a large eat-in modern gourmet kitchen, a garden-view sun room/breakfast room opening through French doors onto the deck ard back yard, modern washer and dryer, and a spacious bedroom suite with private bath. This suite contains a large-screen TV and can also be used as a media room if not needed for a bedroom (see photos). The sofa bed is a comfortable queen-size gel mattress with European topper. On the second floor are three sleeping options: A large master bedroom suite with a king-size bed and en-suite luxury bath, a second bedroom with a comfortable queen bed, a sun room with a daybed and a beautiful view of San Francisco and the western sky. The second floor shared bathroom has both a walk-in shower and relaxing Japanese soaking tub. The third floor sleeping loft, with a warm tree-house feel, is accessible by Japanese ladder from the second-floor landing (and requires a fairly nimble person willing to climb there!), contains a double futon bed with a view of the lights of San Francisco and the Bay--a magical tree-house like space. The back yard has a deck and small patio table right off the kitchen, plus a large patio a few steps lower with a table that seats six. The garden is sunny and quiet, with multiple levels for reading and entertaining. There is plenty of street parking. High-speed wifi is available throughout the house. Rockridge is one of the most desired neighborhoods of the East Bay, lined with charming homes, many dating from the Arts & Crafts era. Bustling College Avenue is a four-block walk away along tree-lined streets, offering some of the East Bay’s most interesting shops and finest restaurants (Oliveto’s, A16, A Coté). The Rockridge BART station is six blocks away, meaning that downtown San Francisco is accessible by comfortable high-speed public transportation in just 25 minutes. The UC-Berkeley campus is 1-1/2 miles away. There is easy freeway access six blocks away, leading to San Francisco, Berkeley, Walnut Creek, and Marin County. Multiple hiking trails in the redwoods or along the crest of the East Bay hills are within a 10-minute drive. Guests often comment on the calm and nurturing environment of the home itself, the charming neighborhood, and friendly neighbors. This home offers the best of San Francisco Bay Area living.

My family absolutely loved staying at Ruel's home. It worked perfectly for my family's stay during our wedding. They especially enjoyed cooking family meals the gorgeous kitchen and hanging out in the beautiful back patio and garden. The bridal party also got ready at the house before the wedding and it was just perfect. Thank you Ruel!

We loved all the wonderful details of this home, with many Asian antiques and art work. Fantastic kitchen and sun filled breakfast nook, plus lovely garden. The home is also walking distance to the many restaurants, coffee shops and stores on College Ave.

I can't say enough good things about our stay...The owners were easy to work with and excellent hosts. The home is in a quiet and very safe location in the East Bay. It is a short walk to the Rockridge Bart Station and surrounding restaurants and stores, a short drive to the Ferry out of Jack London Square, and easy access to and from the major highways. From this location we could walk into Berkeley and make easy day trips to San Francisco, Stinson Beach, Muir Woods, Sausalito, Pt Reyes, San Jose, Half Moon Bay, and Santa Cruz. The home is recently renovated, beautifully decorated, and is a very comfortable place to relax alone or with family and friends. The home had plenty of room for our family of 6 with a separate bedroom for each of the 4 kids, multiple communal spaces, and a large kitchen. The loft bedroom has a view of San Fransisco and is accessed through a ladder and trap door. My 11 year old daughter stayed in this room and loved the novelty of this space. With three full service bathrooms it was easy to get everyone ready and out the door for an adventure in the morning. The kitchen opens up to an extravagant outdoor garden (pictures don't do it justice) that made for a special space to drink coffee in the morning and have dinners together in the evening. The garden creates both a place to escape and an attractive place to bring a family together. Thank you Ruel for opening your home to us. It was the perfect place to relax together and helped us create adventures and memories that will last a lifetime.

All information provided was helpful and useful. Great, safe location. Had trouble getting the front door to stay closed even when locked, most likely due to the weather changes that were occurring. Overall perfect experience.

We had our family reunion here and the home and location was everything we'd hoped. This inviting house and garden are absolutely beautiful and so serene. A five minute walk to College Ave for cafes, shops and public transport meant we didn't need a car. The owners and neighbour were delightful and responsive. Highly recommended.
